I was talking with a friend on another forum about the Grand sport replicas,
These are built on custom tube frames, The mid year in stock form is the same basic frame as the c3 so questions start in my head,

Is there a tube frame that could replace the factory frame of a high end c3 custom build?
If so is it at all affordable to the average vette builder? ( I am a bit below average lol )

Not sure about a tube frame, but there are several custom frames available for C3 that use C4 suspension. Street Shops is one that comes to mind. I have seen several and he does a really nice job.

Yes...replace the word "tube" for the word "custom"
I didn;t see the price of that one but pretty sweet,

Affordable is a relative term. $6,800.00 for a bare frame is affordable to some, not to others. I'm in the 'others' category.

Nice to dream about though,

The greenwood replica I am helping build has a hybrid stock/tube frame, next time I am over there I will take some pictures for you.

Saw a lot of tube frames this weekend at Carlisle. Seems a lot of companies are into them.
